True to his word yet again, President Trump has plans to slash $210 Million in Federal reimbursements to states to refusing to comply with federal immigration authorities and policies.

Thank you, President Trump.

From Los Angeles Times

Buried in President Trump‘s budget proposal released Thursday was an opening salvo against so-called sanctuary cities, local jurisdictions he promised to punish for refusing to cooperate with deportation officers.

Trump wants to slash $210 million in federal reimbursements to state and local jails that hold immigrants convicted of crimes while in the country illegally. The Trump administration called the program “poorly targeted,” adding that two- thirds of the money goes to only a handful of states, including California and Illinois, “for the cost of incarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens.”

The money, awarded by the Department of Justice, can make up a sizable portion of budgets for state and local police and sheriff’s departments.

Trump, who promised weeks before he was elected to “cancel all federal funding to sanctuary cities,” appears to be using it as a cudgel to force those local governments to comply with his administration’s efforts to deport people who are in the U.S. illegally.

I think we should view this as a healthy sign.

And the Good News just keeps coming. This one is guaranteed to make NeverTrump heads explode. They have staked out a position and nothing short of the Second Coming of Christ with Jesus himself telling them they are wrong will ever get them to admit they are wrong. Maybe not even that.

It's more than that. It's a shot across the bows of the metro-sexual cities that think they have a RIGHT to federal grant money,while refusing to follow federal dictates about how the money is to be spent. If you take The Man's money,you play The Man's tune. This has been true since the dawn of history.

The Last Judgement will be like that, many staked out a position that is wrong so deeply and so stubbornly that they will never accept the Truth even when facing Truth directly without veil.
